If, then, it Is bo simple and Its capabilities so vastly suporlor to thoso of tho ordinary stoani onglno all this, too, having boon known for years tho avorago porson Is at once prompted to Inquire how It Is that so llttlo has boon dono with It so far. Tho answortothlBquostlon comprises nil tho objections to tho turblno ob jections which, for tho most part, arise from Its oxcoss of morlt. In tho first placo, the full advantage of tho turblno Is only dorlvod whon it Is working undor full prossure and on a largo scale. It doos not do so woll on n small Bcalo or at low spoods, and, thoroforo, the best Holds for ox porlmont all along, and tho ono which would have ylolded the best results, would havo boon tho Atlantic liner. But tho ocean giants aro not let out for oxportmonl8 and It Is tho way of tho world that early trials must be mado on comparatively small things. The Coming Engine, Mr, Parsons hnd to got over this difficulty as best ho could, and nine years ago tho first ship, specially built at Wallsond-on-Tyno, whore aro I now me works of the Parsons Steam Turbine compan, limited, was pro polled by tho now method. Sho was Called tho Turblna. and a speed o( thirty-four knots an hour was obtained With hor. Then tho torpedo-boat da stioyors Vipor and Cotra wero built and taken over by tho ndmtrality, ths former-proving horself able to travel at forty-threo miles an hour. Both, theso vossols enmo to grlof through cnuaoa with which the turbines had nothing to do; but tho admlrnlty were convinced, and more ordors wero given. Then tho turblno passongor steamers wore fitted for the Clyde sorvlco, and those havo been followed by the now boats on tho ICngllst channel service, the woudorful por formancaa vf which hao attrnctod so much attention. Turbines, morcovor, havo boon fitted to three Bteapi jachts so far, one being tho Hmernld. belonging to Sir Christopher Fumees, which Is the first turbluo-fUted ymso1 to cross the Atlantic. An entirely separate system of tur blno hns been provided for rovors lng purposes. The steamship Queen was Btopped dead, when going ovor nineteen knots an hour. In one min ute and seven seconds niter tho order was given to tho onglno-room, tho distance sho traveled in this time be ing only equal to two and a half tima hor own length.
